REPORTING FAIRS,

The San Francisco Call, referring to the
-USIoN's criticism upon the method
of a number of the San Francisco papers
in reporting the State and District Fairs,
by giving great prominence to the Elces,
and practically ignoring the PsSilion,
stock and machinery exhibits, says that
that is reported which interests the larger
portion of the people. 1t admits that it is
quite possible that horse-racing and base
ball receive mere attention than they de-
serve
What is the duty of the press then?
Merely to cater, or is not bound to aid in
molding public taste? The fact that a
large proportion Of the people are interest
ed in these amusements cannot serve as
sufficient excuse for neglecting those things
in which others less demonstrative in their
demands are also interested. The Call is
convinced that there has been neglect,
since it remarks that probably there is
" some justice in the reflection" INDUCED in
by the RECoRD-UNIoN. There is no doubt
of its entire justice. In the great mass of
the reports of the District Agricultural
Fairs sent to the metropolitan press, the
speed contests are the only features re-
ferred to. A stranger taking up the daily
press reports OF California fairs would be
driven to the conclusion, in seven cases
out of ten, that racing alone distinguished
them.
Our contemporary conscious of these
facts offers the excuse that "a race is an
event, while the fair, otherwise, does not
vary much one day with another" This
is error Of judgment; while it is true
that the race is an event, the lesson of ex-
hibits in a worthy exposition addresses as
large a class of people, and lies a great
deal closer to our material interests than
any other features Of an agricultural fair
What we object to, therefore, is not the
reporting Of the races, nor as prominently
as the enterprise of the publisher die
tates, but the Ignoring of the exhibits and
what they teach. The press should labor
to inform the intelligence of the people.
The larger body OF our industrial and
producing population cannot attend the
great fairs. For what is there shown, the
progress in invention exemplifed, the
comparison of products of the various sec
tions, etc, the mass of the people must
depend upon the reports of the press,
while the people outside of the State
distant from it, and whom we are striving
to interest in the State, can learn little or
nothing from the ordinary press reports of
the agricultural fairs and their world of
suggestion and thought
If the Call will examine its State Fair
and District Fair reports it Will find very
little in them beyond the schedule of
races and some few concentrations con-
corning the agricultural exhibits. What
is needed is approximately intelligent re-
porting of the fairs and the lesson to be
drawn from the exhibits, the claims of the
exhibitors, and the facts concerning cult
walton of the soil and its production, to be
learned by any fairly intelligent reporter
who seeks them at the fairs

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregu-
lar habits and many other things which
ought not to be, have made the American
people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower brings
health and happiness to the dyspeptic

THE CHOLERA.

There have been several more deaths
among the cholera-5tricken passengers in
Lower Bay, New York harbor, and twenty
more are stricken with the dread plague.
Yet the dispatches inform us that the au-
thorities propose to fumigate the ship, the
clothing and baggage of the passengers.
and, with ten days detention in ouaran-
tine after the last case, to let the passen-
gers 90 and free the ship. 1t seems too
monstrous to be true 1t is incomprehen-
sible that the authorities will pursue such
course and expose sixty millions of peo-
pie to the scourgc. For, as certainly as
the plan indicated is pursued, the cholera
will spread throughout the country. The
history of the. disease is an unerring guide
as TO its future course. Fumigation. how
ever thoroughly performed will not stay
the cholera. 1t may check it, but if a
single article of that ships baggage comes
into New York city, the disease may be
expected soon after to make its appearance
in that city, and then no earthly power
can stamp 1t out. The authorities of Nice,
Marseilles. and Crete experimental wit h
fumigation of cholera patients clothing.
and tire awful result is well known. The
thing to do at New York is to destroy with
fire every particle of clothing, baggage
and goods that came in the ship, then to
burn the vessel, also, and sink the parts
that are not consumed. The footing of the
bill of cost will be mere tri1e compared
10 the fearful loss of life and the prostra-
ton of the country that Is certain to fol-
low the dissemination of the disease. There
Is such thing as useless alarm in these
matters, but in this case the demand for
the utter destruction of the effects of the
passengers and the burning of the ship is
not alarm, bat the dictate Of ordinary
caution. We ought to assume that the
health officers know and will do their
duty but, if the Geographic advices are
correct, the course they propose to pursue
will result in the spread of the Asiatic
cholera in America, and every authority
on the subject, and all the experience of
Europe, justifes this riex.

MORE ABOUT THAT FOITL

EDS: RECORD UNION: In your report of
the Nighthawk Stake run last Friday at
the State Agricultural Fair, speaking of the
disqualification of Lizzie Dunbar you say
that her rider, Fred. GARLIC, had ridden
foul in two other races during the fair and
that the horses he rode were consequently
disqualified. The statement is incorrect.
Fred. Garlic was not charged with foul
riding in any other race during the fair ex-
cepting the Nighthawk Stake, and in that
race large majority of those who were at
the immediate place where the alleged foul
occurred were of the opinion that it was
Edelweiss, and not Lizzie Dunbar, that
committed the foul, by going in where she
could not get through, and that she and
not Dunbar should have been disqualified.
